Hello and welcome from Texas! I agree and a beginner quilting class is great for beginners! JoAnn's has some monthly!

Welcome from Tennessee! I love to paper piece and one of the first classes I took was in paper piecing. Not to scare you off, but I really struggled. I would suggest a nine patch or something along that line - either way, just have fun!

Welcome! I would try something scrappywith squares, but thats just me.

Welcome, so glad you joined us. I love paper piecing, but I would definitely NOT recommend it for a beginner. My opinion.

Welcome from Kansas. I agree that a beginners class is your best bet.

If you have a good teacher learning paper piecing is fun. I suggest Carol Doak's paper piecing DVD. It's the best way to learn paper piecing on your own. I find it on sale at many online shops.

Hello and welcome from central Alabama. I'm afraid if I had started with paper piecing I would never have completed a quilt. I would start with a simple pattern like a 9-patch or rail fence.

Welcome.

OMG, DO NOT start with paper piece unless you want to pull out your hair by the roots and your toenails out with plyers! Work up to it. I'm a fan of paper piece, but if you don't pay attention it can be really frustrating. Start with a basic patchwork quilt and see if it's something you like doing before jumping off into the deep end. Good luck tho - give yourself permission to make mistakes and enjoy the journey.

Hello and Welcome from East TN.
I am not a fan of pp myself. I prefer scrappy mainly because I don't have time or patience to match up corners and seams. The main objective is that you are doing something that You enjoy. Looking forward to seeing your first project.
